Examining wheel/rail interaction on rail transit systems

January 3, 2014 | Filed under: Friction Management, Noise and Vibration, Rail Grinding, Rail Transit, Wheel Maintenance, Wheel/Rail Interaction

By Bob Tuzik • November 4, 2004 If the first unwritten rule in optimizing the wheel/rail interface on rail transit is: Know your system; the second rule should be: Recognize that the w/r interface is a system. “No single department can attack the issues in isolation and expect to get very far,” Joseph Oriolo, Senior …

Optimizing Wheel and Rail Profiles on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor

December 30, 2013 | Filed under: Rail Grinding, Rail Transit, Wheel/Rail Interaction, Wheel/Rail Profile

by Eric E. Magel • September 20, 2004 Wheel wear is an inevitable byproduct of wheel/rail interaction. Excessive wear, however, indicates an imbalance in some aspect of the wheel/rail interface. Amtrak’s high-speed Acela trains, running on track with much greater curvature than other high-speed systems, were quickly found to exhibit very …

Engineering the Wheel/Rail Interface for Rail Transit

October 18, 2013 | Filed under: Rail Transit, Track Geometry, Vehicle Design, Vehicle/Track, Wheel/Rail Interaction

By Jeff Tuzik • July 2010 Wheel/rail interaction is complex, variable and difficult to manage — especially on rail transit systems where noise, vibration and ride quality present daily challenges. As a result, managing the wheel/rail interface requires constant attention and innovation. Speakers at Advanced Rail Management’s Rail Transit 2010 …
